<p>
        Some low level memory management routines need to synthesize a POD type with
        specific alignment properties. The template <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../reference/type_with_alignment.html" title="type_with_alignment">type_with_alignment</a></code>
        finds the smallest type with a specified alignment, while template <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../reference/aligned_storage.html" title="aligned_storage">aligned_storage</a></code>
        creates a type with a specific size and alignment.
